This nine weeks has been really good. Mr. Oldfield has taught and helped me understand how to do things that I used to be confused on. For example, I can add, subtract, multiply and divide negative numbers, and I ended up receiving an A on my tests. I can also perform the distributive property and combine like terms using it. I went home and practiced those skills with my dad and he also helped me completely understand how to do it. Lastly, I can evaluate positive , zero and negative exponents and simplify expressions using exponents. This may be the toughest skill for me to learn, but after receiving help from Mr. Oldfield I got a good grade on my test.

I believe that I deserve an A in this class. I may not have understood it at first but I tried my best and it paid off in my tests.
